As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Down the Mountain... Sunday, July 8


Koreans may not be particularly friendly to strangers but throw a group of fabulous foreign females on a mountain trail and all of a sudden they are!  On our hike down the mountain we were greeted by so many Koreans.  For the most part they’d say to hi to us and continue on but there were many of them that asked us where we were from, called us beautiful and even tried to stir up conversations with us as we passed by or enjoy a mountain side snack. 

Yes, a good looking woman can stop traffic but a group of females, wow, we can stop traffic on a mountain… how cool is that?!  Hahaha…

Upon arriving downtown, we all parted our ways.  It was a bitter sweet parting.  It was obvious all the ladies had enjoyed themselves and were having fun but it was also clear we all yearned to take a shower and perhaps take a nap.  I know I napped.  Didn’t anticipate on napping but after my shower I kicked up my heels on the couch to play with Balboa on my tummy and then it was lights out for me.  Crashed for a good solid two hours, maybe even three. 

Plans for the rest of the day:
1. Upload photos
2. Type up and post this week’s Flab to Fab Weekly Challenge for Flipside Fitness
3. Update several personal training files
4. Work on my Tips & Tidbit files for personal training
5. Work on my friend’s bodybuilding website
6. Drop by the boxing club to hang up the laundry
7. Late night timed run
